My heart has been ripped out,” Ridinger’s wife, Loren, said after the tragic loss. “To clear the rumors that he fell… while on our first vacation in 3 years with [family, J.R.] had a sudden pulmonary embolism that stole him from us. In just a second, he was gone. A moment. I beg of you to pray and meditate on him.”

Loren and their daughter, Amber, to celebrate his life and contributions, hosted a party that saw performances from JLo and Ja Rule, Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, and Alejandro Sanz.

Swizz Beatz, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Rohan Marley, Emilio Estefan, Lopez and Marc Anthony’s daughter, Emme, Lala Anthony, and more attended the Miami Beach celebration Saturday night.
